Standing up to the Neofascists at TSA

All I can say is that while I'm sorry she missed her flight, bully for her! Way to go, grrl. When Bras attack:

When Berkeley resident Nancy Kates arrived at Oakland International Airport to board JetBlue flight 472, she thought she was heading off on a routine journey to visit her mother in Boston. Instead she ended up in a standoff with Transportation Safety Administration officials over her bra.
For Kates, on Sunday, though, the security check got too invasive. A big-busted woman wearing a large underwire bra, she set off the metal detector. She was pulled aside and checked by a female TSA agent with a metal-sensitive wand.

"The woman touched my breast. I said, 'You can't do that,' " Kates said. "She said, 'We have to pat you down.' I said, 'You can't treat me as a criminal for wearing a bra.' "

TSA Strikes Again! Brit Gov't Minister Detained

It is to laugh:

LONDON -- Britain's first Muslim government minister said he was "deeply disappointed" Monday after his luggage was searched for explosives at a United States airport as he returned from official talks.

International Development Minister Shahid Malik was detained for about 40 minutes at Washington Dulles airport Sunday by the Department of Homeland Security after meeting officials from the same department to discuss terrorism.

TSA: Tall, Sexy, Available?

He's tall, he's smooth, and he's way better looking than his 'brother.' If I were a lonely TSA screener, I'd pull him out of line and whisk him to the front like a celebrity too. Although, I hope it was one of the TSA's more masculine types. Jus sayin. OTOH, I developed an instant crush on him when I met him in DC, so I totally understand how a SecurityGal could fall for him.

Humor aside, whiskey tango foxtrot? Are good looks the newest security clearance standard? Does the smooth swish of a well rounded derriere do the trick? What about bedroom eyes?
